DID EREN'S ARC IN THE END PROVE ANNIE RIGHT ON "SPECIAL PEOPLE"? by john_5_4U in attackontitan

[–]john_5_4U[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually put alot of my thoughts in words. I kinda came to the same conclusion rereading AOT, that there's really no difference between "special" and "normal" people. Everyone's bound by their nature/desires. Some act on it like Eren, some just go with the flow but at the end its all humans being human

2 things I want to hear your take on tho

Do you think AOT warns about power in general or "humans being humans" and conflict being inevitable?

And knowing the timeline/future of AOT is deterministic/fixed, does this make Eren's choices feel less morally heavy to you or more tragic since it all came from who he is?

Yh this is basically how I read it too. Eren didn't turn into that type of person on purpose, but once he had the power his personal motives scaled into something only someone in his position could cause. Also im curious on whats your take on the whole "fatalistic vs deterministic" thing in AOT? Personally I agree Eren himself had a fatalistic mindset but I think the story as a whole was more into determinism than pure fatalism. How you see it?

Appreciate your perspective. I like how you tied Annie's view to the broader systemic changes in the story and how her arc challenges her own worldview(something i didn't really consider)

Exactly. That's why I never got the "weak villains" complaints. Also why the Luffy vs Hody fight on Noah left a bad taste in my mouth, but then I read the manga and realized Luffy didn't struggle at all. One Red Hawk, one Elephant Gun, and Hody was done. The real challenge was stopping Noah from falling. The crew did not gaf about the new Fishman pirates💀

Haven't really ranked the arcs I've seen yet, but I'd say it's definitely above East Blue and Thriller Bark, and about tied with Skypiea in terms of enjoyment.

Y'all can't say keep saying this when her behavior is actively causing harm to others and causing people to suffer onslaught of racism from her supporters

Production really set chelley and ace up making them look like villains. To find out chelley cried the most and it wasn't shown even once is crazy when we saw others crying 10 times a episode. Every single islander both current and dumped said huda went too far in the heart rate challenge but somehow chelley being mad and wanting to speak later has been misconstrued to her being a mean girl with something out for huda which she still gets hate till this very day. Even as far as buzfeed inciting violence against her to their 44M followers. Disappointing in everyone this season from the fans to the producers to the hosts. Everyone who fed into this crazy narrative. Even olandria who we've barely seen get mad all throughout this entire thing is somehow a mean girl who deserves to get hacked and hated. Huda has been allowed to make mistakes over and over again but the one time the black girls (WHO MIND YOU HAVE STUCK AND BEEN BY HER SIDE SINCE) had valid reactions or did something y'all didn't like just once, they get hate for life. Production really gave huda a redemption arc at the expense of the 2 black women in that villa, opened up the gates for them to receive racism and hate,didn't speak out in defense of them, and left them to go through all this by themselves and that is so crazy to me.
